re: Clark’s game tying HR was fair in the first game today

Not sure which part of the video you aren’t comprehending. The ball was foul. End of story.
The ball is seen in FRONT of the foul pole before it lands. It never reached the pole to be able to be OVER the pole.

You’re still fricking arguing when proof is posted. You can’t be this dumb. Are the trees in front the pole too cause you can see green through mesh too.

How did she blow it? She complained to the umpires who said there was no video to prove the ball was fair. What was her next move?

upon further review ... pictural facts are present below confirming the ball was FOUL .... WIDE LEFT by inches

this extreme zoomed-in, close-up view is from the video camera behind home plate. Notice the HR pole is directly inline with the large cypress tree. Pictures match up perfectly, and likely the ONLY video the umpires could view to change their opinion. Initial ruling on the field was foul ball.



ball is approaching the HR pole, the red arrow is crucial in identifying lines on the pole and where the ball travels

ball distorting the line (in front of it)

B&W image showing the ball in front of pole and onscuring the line



notice the ball inside the circle, there is a distinct outline in between the 2 lines


same image a milli-second later and the ball image (where red arrow is) is not there .



the pictures above prove the ball travelled IN FRONT OF the HR pole. Had the ball been fair and inside the field of play, the ball would have not have obscured the distinct lines on the pole as pointed out by the red arrows. The ball NEVER travelled behind the HR pole, clearly in front of it. Based on the camera angles and position, Blue got it right on the initial call and subsequent video replay.


Chad .... how are you gonna spin this one since the pictures tell 1,000 words ?

Oh don’t worry. He won’t let mere facts get in his way. He has a story and he’s sticking with it.

Yeah. Ok.

You guys just made me watch it all the way to the homer. The dude who caught it was in foul territory.

You are misleading. Do you work for a network, NBC?

This is a USL USL USL commuter school shrimp boot wearing, uneducated swamp rat that probably never stepped foot into a college classroom. Don’t listen to this person. The ball was clearly fair and the ump even said it crossed OVER the foul pole so it wasn’t reviewable. OVER the foul pole in any way, shape or form is FAIR.

Damn dude learn English.

Another point not talked enough. the foul line angle and "foul territory" is highly deceiving. This ball flat out dropped over the pole and very likely still in fair terrority behind it.
